Question
Answer
show Surgical puncture of the abdomen by a needle to withdraw fluid; abdominal paracentesis.  
🗑
Anorexia   show
🗑
show diagnostic test performed to determine cause of joint swelling or arthritis: septic bursitis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis. (joint aspiration), the procedure uses a sterile needle and syringe to drain fluid from a joint for further examination  
🗑
Coupage   show
🗑
Cystocentesis   show
🗑
Diagnostic peritoneal lavage (DPL)   show
🗑
Extravasation   show
🗑
Foley Catheter   show
🗑
Intraosseous   show
🗑
Leukocytosis   show
🗑
show a condition that results when the body does not have enough neutrophils, an important white blood cell that fights infections. Defined as an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) less than 1500 per microliter (1500/microL).  
🗑
Osmolality   show
🗑
show deficiency of all three cellular components of the blood (red cells, white cells, and platelets).  
🗑
Percutaneously   show
🗑
show inflammation of a vein.  
🗑
Pleural effusion   show
🗑
show a collapsed lung. A pneumothorax occurs when air leaks into the space between your lung and chest wall. This air pushes on the outside of your lung and makes it collapse  
🗑
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)   show
🗑
Rumen   show
🗑
show an invasive procedure associated with removal of fluid or air from the pleural space for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes  
🗑
Thrombocytopenia   show
🗑
Thrombophlebitis   show
🗑
Thrombosis   show
🗑
Vasodilation   show
🗑
show Pretreatment blood and urine samples should be obtained before administration of fluids of medications.  
🗑
Technician Note   show
🗑
show Length of stomach tub is measured from the nose to the 13th rib (last). It is marked with tape. For distal esophagus (smooth muscle) placement the tube is measured from the nose to the 8th rib. Tube is bent (occluded) before removal to avoid aspiration.  
🗑
analgesics   show
🗑
show Upon orogastic intubation the animal will most likely swallow, if properly placed. If coughing occurs, the tube may have entered the trachea.  
🗑
sclera   show
🗑
percutaneously   show
🗑
show A facilitative incision or a relief hole reduces skin tension and friction against the catheter; it is indicated in severely dehydrated patients and in patients with tough skin.  
🗑
show a device used to access a vein for drawing blood or giving medications. Some call it a “winged infusion set” or a “scalp vein set.” The set gets its name because there are plastic “wings” on either side of a hollow needle used to access the vein.  
🗑
show Hollow flexible tube for insertion into a body cavity, duct, or vessel. Uses: drainage of urine from the bladder through the urethra, insertion through a blood vessel into the heart for diagnostic purposes.  
🗑
show The most common type of catheter used today. It is inexpensive and easy to place. It is used primarily for peripheral vein catheterization. This type of catheter is fitted outside or over a steel needle.  
🗑
show a single catheter with more than one internal channel (called a lumen). A different intravenous infusion can be connected to each lumen, and the fluid will usually exit at a slightly different point along the catheter.  
🗑
show gather a catheter, a syringe filled with heparinized saline flush, an injection cap or T-connector, tape, nonabsorbable suture, bandage material, clippers, and antiseptic scrub and solutions.  
🗑
show Fluids and drugs that have an osmolality greater than 600 mOsm/L should be administered through the jugular vein.  
🗑
antegrade   show
🗑
show Placement of a bag of fluids, a sandbag, or rolled towels under the neck helps to make the vessel more accessible and stable for jugular catheter placement.  
🗑
show a surgical instrument with a three-sided cutting point enclosed in a tube, used for withdrawing fluid from a body cavity  
🗑
show a preparation containing iodine complexed with a solubilizing agent, such as a surfactant or povidone (forming povidone-iodine). The result is a water-soluble material that releases free iodine when in solution  
🗑
show the formation or presence of a new, abnormal growth of tissue.  
🗑
show an agent that causes blistering (outside a vessel?)  
🗑
show cause (an event or situation, typically one that is bad or undesirable) to happen suddenly, unexpectedly, or prematurely.  
🗑
patency   show
🗑
extravasations   show
🗑
Technician Note   show
🗑
Intraosseous administration   show
🗑
